I just hope that they don't push too far and get too eager, because the counterattack could be very bad. Still if they are here to stay in the game then so be it, just please do it wisely, Ukraine. Hope they don't repeat the costly losses that the offensives last year had. The point that you had about the assymetrical tactics was prescient, because Russia is all about doing everything by the book. They can't break free of that and do something unexpected to save their lives. |
I still believe that if Ukraine had no restrictions, last years offensives wouldn't have been a direct charge straight into minefields and artillery, they would have went into Russia, established a position and looped back round into Ukraine to hit Russians from behind. I don't know what Ukraine's objectives are here yet, whether it's a limited attack and run or not, I also don't believe they'll ever do what I said above but I still believe it's the best tactic because otherwise they're back to charging headfirst into minefields and artillery, that's why their losses were so high last year.
I fully believe if America was in the same scenario, they would invade and take control of Belgorod and then loop back around into Luhansk.
Don't know what the purpose of this is though, I know it ain't the above though, it could just be Ukraine trying to divert Russian forces elsewhere, it could be Ukraine trying to establish a permanent position, it could just be a quick run in and run out and dealing as much damage as possible, it could be to show how pathetic Russia's redlines are, it could be to put a stop to the stupid line that the contact lines should be frozen, cause then they would be frozen with Ukraine holding Russian territory, etc. Nobody knows.
Just wish they could park a Patriot on the border and blow up any aircraft but America/Germany already got mad at Ukraine for doing that.
